I just got home from visiting my parents and already have to pack my things for Czech Republic. I’m going to Hip Hop Kemp. This is one of the biggest hip hop festivals in Europe.

The audience is over 25.000 hip hop lovers - or better said, music lovers. People all over the world are comming to Festival Park, Hradec Králové with trailers, tents, cars, just to listen to some good hip hop music.

As far as I read about the camping site, there has been some changes. Good changes. There are more showers, more toilets (and somebody is going to make sure those are kept clean) and when the night will fall, some lamps are going to show you the way through the campsite. The most interesting part? There will be a beach near the festival site! Hooray! If you get tired of nodding your head, you can relax a bit on the beach. Sounds great, isn’t it?
